Look at the following sentence from The Sunflower. "I felt that I would come across them again; that they were a symbol with a special meaning for me." Page 15
Notice what moves the author makes. What does the author use in this sentence that he also used in our "opener's" sentence? Write a sentence of your own that mimics the same moves the writer makes. Write your sentence on a slip of paper and tape it to the butcher paper at the front of the room. Lets review your sentences!
Ethos, Pathos, Logos
Look over the handout titled Argumentation and Persuasion.
Focus on the pathos, or the emotional appeal. How does the dying Nazi soldier practice pathos when speaking to the Jewish narrator? As we read, pay attention to the emotions the Nazi feels, the emotions he makes the narrator feel, the emotions he makes us as readers feel. Write down page numbers or sentences that you think really evoke the most emotion. (We WILL come back to your notes.)
EVERY ENTRY should have the book's TITLE, the DATE of the entry, the LOT # you are addressing, a QUOTE from the text, and your own COMMENTARY making that LOT connection.
Students need notebooks or a separate section of your binder to put journal entries. You will need to put them ALL TOGETHER, have them ORGANIZED, have them with you DAILY, and be able to turn in a PHYSICAL copy of them when I take them up for a grade. Email or phone notes will not work.
